The redevelopment of Penrith Stadium in New South Wales has hit a major milestone, with the State Government awarding a contract to deliver the stadium and surrounding entertainment precinct.
The contract has been awarded to John Holland, which has extensive experience delivering large and complex construction projects including the Sydney Football Stadium (Allianz).
The project will transform the precinct into a modern venue for sport and entertainment.
The $309 million redevelopment of Penrith Stadium will continue to cater for men’s NRL matches, but it will also benefit the women’s NRL competition and support the growth of female representation in sports with new player facilities and changerooms.
The training field to the west of the stadium will be remodelled to create new quality open spaces with multipurpose courts and improved landscaping to enable further outdoor community use and entertainment events.

The proposed design responds to feedback from over 3,000 fans, families and community members since 2022. It will be a family-friendly design that respects the stadium’s history and importance to the local community.
Joe Kokai, Executive General Manager of John Holland, said the team are proud to be partnering again with the New South Wales Government on another Sydney stadium project.
“We know how much facilities like these mean to the community around them and we can’t wait to deliver this fantastic venue for Western Sydney,” he said.
“The Penrith Stadium redevelopment will provide job opportunities and create careers for people in construction.
“Our Sydney Football Stadium team already get to say ‘I built this’ when they attend events at the venue and many have gone on to have great careers at John Holland. Penrith Stadium will be no different.”
